I just finished this pattern and it’s so easy! Easy to follow and no confusions anywhere. Well-written instructions.
Thank you Sandy!! I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed it. :-)
This may be a silly question, by the way I love this pattern…I’m at the 4th row. Is it ok that I’m going through front and back posts? I know once I get to the 12th row it’s states front post. Is it okay that I’m going through both at this point(4th row-11)? I’m fairly new at this but your patterns are awesome! I just hope I’m not asking a silly question..
happy New a Year!

What would I do if I want to make it a little wider? (23-24″ circumference)
Love this pattern. It is so easy. I used K crochet hook don’t have L. I used a red heart yarn called parrot stripe.
